OIL HEAT CARESOESP is proud to support Oil Heat Cares, a non-profit foundation that helps needy people and organizations in crisis with the replacement of their oil heating appliance. Throughout the year, there are countless stories of ways in which Oil Heat Cares has helped the old, the sick and the poor receive new boilers or critical repairs, ensuring their homes remain warm throughout the winter. We are especially proud to help veterans, who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms.

OESP works throughout the year to raise money for the foundation. Local chapters and members then identify Oil Heat partners within their neighborhoods that need a temporary helping hand. Over the years, OESP has installed heating equipment for dozens of homeowners at no cost.

Service professionals can donate their time and talent by identifying a project for a customer or neighbor in need, by donating equipment or supplies, or by participating in one of the many fundraisers held throughout the year.

East River Energy has been an active participant of Oil Heat Cares throughout New Haven County and has volunteered services to assist in both replacing oil heating appliances and donating fuel to those in need.

We provide diapers and wipes to those in need through local food pantries and community service organizations. Helping families in our community will be able to live in a diaper stress-free environmen...

Testimonials

"My family has owned and operated M&M since 1955. The decision to merge wasn't easy and frankly unsettling, that is until through the grace of god we crossed paths with East River Energy. To us, M&M isn't just an oil company. It is a business that has provided a wonderful life to three generations of my family. It was important to us to make sure we found another company that valued their customers and their employees as much as we do. The Herzogs, with no question were those people. They instill a family culture within their company and know the value of their customers and what loyalty means, they understand the value of long term mutually beneficial relationships in a day and age where that business philosophy is disappearing. Proud to be part of such a great company and join forces with such a great family!"
